Lyrics
www.parralox.c...
Are 'Friends' Electric?
Written by Gary Numan.
Verse 1
It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette
Verse 2
Now the light fades out
And I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this
There's a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you
Bridge 1
So now I'm alone
Now I can think for myself
About little Deals and SUs
And things that I just don't understand
Like a white lie that night
Or a sly touch at times
I don't think it meant anything to you
Verse 3
So I open the door
It's the 'friend' that I left in the hallway
"Please sit down."
A candlelit shadow on a wall near the bed
Verse 4
You know I hate to ask
But are 'friends' electric?
Only mine's broke down
And now I've no one to love
Bridge 2
So I found out your reasons
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts and I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I miss you tonight
So it's time to leave
You see it meant everything to me
It's a brave person who would tackle such an iconic song that really birthed the popular electronic music revolution.
But it's refreshing to hear such a take that still retains that integral element of the original AND it's clearly an obvious Parralox track too.
Well done all
Thanks Mark! Lovely to see you here on UA-cam! Yes, it's a bit of a classic, but you know us. We don't scare easily haha!
Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, John. ❤️🎹❤️

awesome!
This is just the bomb. I'm sure Gary would be very proud of your remix too. I see you dedicate it to Derek Jarman. I met Derek in a disco in London in '77 when I was 17/18 just after he'd released his film 'Jubilee'. He was talking to me about working on his next film 'Caravaggio'. I was always asking him to put me in one of his films as an extra. He never did unfortunately but we always had fun if we bumped into each other at the disco & he always made sure I had tickets to any of his premieres. He was such a lovely man. It was so sad when he died so young like many others of that time. Very special person.
OMG that's an amazing story. You're so lucky to have met him. The closest I got was an exhibition in London a few years ago. I do love his movies. Cheers, John. ❤️🎹❤️

Fantastic! My favorite movie of my childhood and one of my favorite tracks have come together! John, thank you so much for the pleasant surprise!!!
Спасибо, Сергей. Я очень рад, что вам понравилась наша песня. Я надеюсь у тебя был замечательный день. Спасибо, Джон ❤️🎹❤️
www.parralox.com/songs
An iconic song and one of my all time favourites and I must admit thinking "I hope they have not ruined it" and thankfully you haven't :) excellent job.
Thanks a million! Yes, people seem to get quite protective over such classic songs. Thankfully I have no such fear LOL I'm glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, John. ❤️🎹❤️

@@parralox seriously, because Gary has reworked it so many ways, it's extremely difficult to keep the spirit while putting your twist into the Canon. Congrats.
this is a BRILLIANT cover of one of Gary Numans greatest tracks. Thanks team!
Movie or my childhood. Song of my adulthood. Thanks for bringing them together.
Well done!
You're welcome Sasha! It's such a great movie. I wish they would release it on BluRay! Cheers, John. ❤️🎹❤️

Very iconic song. Brave to attempt to cover this but the result has brought it up to date and is suitably up-tempo. Especially love the girl vocals which offer a different feel to Gary's nasal electronic monotone. Cool video too. Thanks for posting :)
Thanks so much Chris, glad you liked it! Cheers, John. ❤️🎹❤️

I feel like a miner discovering all these gems lol! Seriously good job!!!
Thanks so much ZM. So glad you are liking all these! Cheers John 🎹

Вот уж не ожидал увидеть в качестве видеоряда старый советский фильм. И, заметьте, как ускорилось время. Оригинал песни сейчас кажется слишком тягучим и медленным, а ваша версия просто идеальный ремейк. Спасибо!
Спасибо огромное, госпожа Чувачок! Я так рада, что вам нравится наша музыка и видео. И вам огромное спасибо за поддержку нашего канала. Привет из Австралии ☺️ Спасибо, Джон.
🎹 www.parralox.com
i love this cover :) and i love the movie ( i think there are two movies with the children "START ZUR KASSIOPEIA" and "Roboter im Sternbild Kassiopeia" - i saw both often in special programs in east german cinemas during school holidays ;))
Thanks so much Jens. And yes you are 100% correct! You are very lucky to have seen them in the cinemas on the big screen. That would have been amazing! Cheers John.
🎹 www.parralox.com
This is how a remix should be done ❤️ that beat is absolutely hypnotic 10/10
Cool! so glad you like it Lees. Hope you're having an awesome day. 🤗 Cheers John.
🎹 www.parralox.com
I love the original but it’s got to the point that I’m listening to this version more and more!
Good Gravy! Thank you so much, but for God's sake, don't let Gary hear you say that LOL Cheers, John. ❤️🎹❤️
www.parralox.com/songs
Brilliant! And special thanks for mixing music and movie from my soviet childhood in one masterpiece.
That's so amazing! So happy you like it. Cheers, John. ❤️🎹❤️

Ooh back this week! Nice! I best log into my VPN. Loved the Roisin show. Roisin Machine is a fantastic album.

I know the time when this song was created (originally) was wild.
But this...I´m speechless, the imagination is spot on! Plus the remixed version is sweet!
Thank you SO much Miroslav! I'm so glad you like it. I think we grew up in similar times. Cheers John.

Awesome choice of track, Just subbed, has Mr Numan heard this yet? shame he couldn't make a GUEST VOCAL along side.
Thanks so much. No idea if Gary has heard the track, but surely one of his awesome fans can send it to him? 🤗❤️ and having him do guest vocals on a track? Now THAT would be amazing! ❤️🎹❤️
Супер! Мой любимый фильм в детстве! Спасибо, Джон!
Большое спасибо Денису! Да, похоже, что многие жители Запада не знают этот фильм. И понятно, что многие россияне это знают! Я рад, что вам понравилась наша музыка. Привет из Австралии. Спасибо, Джон.. ❤️🎹❤️

Having read some of comments I now realise that this video was not made specifically for the song but from an actual movie! Now I want to watch this strange looking film.
Thanks so much Stephen. I'm flattered that you think we'd have the budget for a video like that! Hope you're having a great weekend. Cheers, John 😀
🎹 www.parralox.com/songs
@@parralox Thanks John, having a good weekend so far. I looked the movie up on UA-cam but it was 2 and a half hours long!! and sadly did not have English subtitles but it looked like a fun movie to watch 😂.
I must admit, apart from the editing, I haven't watched it either!
Definitely a fun version of my favorite song ever! I like the new interpretation of this classic.
This is absolutely fantastic! I love the original version by Gary, but this is a refreshing take.....Very similar to Shiny Toy Guns (who I absolutely adore). I love this!
Cool! Thanks again Neil. So happy that you are watching our videos! And yes, it was a bit scary to take on Gary, so I'm glad you like. Cheers John 🎹

Thanks so much. People seem to be really enjoying it. I’m pretty sure I’ll do another Gary Numan track on Holiday ‘21 ❤️🎹❤️
What is this movie?! I need to see it! GREAT COVER!! Thanks for that, such an iconic song not easy to cover.
Hey there. It's a Russian Sci-Fi called Teens in the Universe. There were a few in that series. Russian Sci-Fi is so underlooked. There are quite a few amazing movies out there.Cheers, John.

@@parralox Thank You very Much for the link ! ! ! The Nanny is one of the happiest memories from the 90s I have. Majel Barrett-Roddenberry was the best computer voice EVEEEERRRRRR. Science & Sci-Fi are my very muscial background. Love Laurie Anderson too. Such a beautiful and lovely person.
sounds like we are on the same wavelength then.

Hello. I love Gary Numan. And I really liked your cover. It is impossible to sit still, I want to dance. Our duet also has this song in its repertoire, but not in a dance rhythm. You guys are very cool.

Ah yes, he was talking about his girlfriend at the time right?
@@parralox He was.
Sorry to be picky but after 42 years of seeing our Gaz perform this live, it has to be right! LOL

@@parralox I'm just very, very old John. :)
Если бы сделали темп быстрее, звучало бы намного лучше. Я не пойму вашу идею. Вроде танцевальная музыка, а ритм медленный.
Спасибо, Павел. Оригинальная версия уже достаточно быстрая. Я думаю, что всегда приятно попробовать что-то другое. Вы не согласны? Спасибо, Джон. ❤️🎹❤️
